Peacekeepers Arrest
Ex-Sierra Leone Leader - - in Drag

By Associated Press
Freetown, Sierra Leone
February 22, 1998
West African peacekeepers arrested Si- erra Leone's former president Joseph Momoh when he tried to slip through a checkpoint in the capi- tal disguised as a woman, a mili- tary officer said yesterday.

A commander of the Nigerian- led ECOMOG force that ousted leaders of a May 25 coup in Free- town last week, said Momoh had been detained at ECOMOG's base at Lungi airport outside the capi- tal.

No reason was given for Mo- moh's arrest, but a local radio sta- tion loyal to Kabbah has repeated- ly alleged that the ex-president, himself toppled by soldiers in 1992, was a close adviser to the junta that ousted elected president Ah- mad Tejan Kabbah.
